The Third Prince Want a Slow Live

Philia holding hands with me.

Philia seemed nervous of what he might say, but I wasn't particularly worried.

Sure enough, my father laughed and said.

“Ehhh, when I thought you had escaped, and  you bring back the young lady?”

“Father, this is Philia to  whom I want to           be engaged with.”

“I , I'm Philia Astarte…”

“The daughter of Count Astarte, huh?”

When I turned around, Philia's father and mother came out of the hall and  were surprised by my sudden fiance remark.

They don't have the same hair color or eyes as Philia, so maybe it's inherited from her grandparents?

’

“Philia, what is this…”

 “Um, father.
Actually…”

“Excuse me, Earl Astarte.
Earlier, I proposed my engagement to Philia, and she accepted it….I think the formal engagement will take place at a later date, but please approve it.”

Philia's father gaze tourn to her as if to confirm it .

Philia's mother was very happy to hear that, but her father was a little worried.

Well, she's a cute girl, so it can't be helped.

“Your Highness, are you really okay with my daughter?”

 “Yeah, it is embarrassing, but I fell in love with her at first sight… Talking to her made me feel even better, and I am convinced that Philia and I  would be able to get along well.”

Earl Astarte was perplexed by those words, and Philia looked happy.

Yeah, you're cute

“That's why, father–no, your Majesty the King, would you allow this engagement?”

“Allow”

“Are you sure, Your Majesty?”

’

 “Ah, I know the character of Count Astarte.
If it’s that girl, I can entrust  my  son to her with peace of mind… Miss Philia.
Can I ask you to take care of my son?”

Philia nodded and replied to my father.

 “Yes…
I swear that I will always be with Her Highness.”

“Is it okay? Count Astarte.”

 “…
I understand.
Your Highness, 

please take care of my daughter.”

With those words, the engagement between me and Philia was decided between the two families.

The documents will probably come later, but Philia and I are now engaged.

Well…
I am a little relieved.

 I  later thought that he was forced to accept because he couldn't refuse an engagement from the royal family, but I'm glad Philia doesn't seem to mind it either.

Some people in the hall didn't seem quite happy, but my engagement with Philia still  spread throughout the nobility.

This will also reduce the number of people who mess with Philia.
